extended, thus resembling Acraea cerasa Hew., and on the 

 posterior wings it extends lower towards the anal angle ; both 

 wings are dusky grey at the base. Expanse : 2 inches.

 those species. 



Upperside : dark brown. Anterior wings with a pale tawny 

 band crossing the wings, as in Acraea cydonia Ward, but divided 

 between the two upper median nervules by a blackish-brown 

 irregular band, which partially covers the interspace between 

 the two upper median nervules, but is narrower than in Acraea 

 cydonia Ward and Acraea flava Dewitz. Posterior wings 

 with the basal three-fourths light brown and outer fourth dark 

 brown. Expanse : if inches.

 tawny band from the costa crossing the end of the cell, thence 

 becoming wider to the inner margin ; towards the apex is a 

 bright tawny spot near the costa, divided into three by the 

 veins, and a quadrate spot above the upper median nervule 

 nearer the outer margin. Posterior wings bright tawny, be- 

 coming dusky at the base. 



Underside : dusky pale brown with the transverse tawny 

 band indistinct. Posterior wings with the disc crossed by an 

 indistinct irregularly undulated dusky brown band, inside which, 

 but outside the cell, are two small black spots, a similar spot 

 in the middle of the cell, two in the interspace above the sub- 

 costal nervure, one on the shoulder, and six or seven others 

 near the inner margin below the base of the cell. Expanse: 

 if inches.
